HealthSmart Foam Bed Wedge 12x24x24, Blue Moroccan
HealthSmart® Foam Bed Wedge Pillow in Blue Moroccan (12" x 24" x 24")
12-Inch Therapeutic Slanted Elevation, Decorative Blue Moroccan Poly-Cotton Cover, High-Density Conforming Foam Core, and Dual Head or Leg Position Support
Lying flat in bed can exacerbate nighttime acid reflux, trigger snoring, impair respiratory comfort, and place uncomfortable pressure on lower back joints. For individuals recovering from leg or knee surgery, managing varicose veins, or coping with GERD and sleep apnea symptoms, achieving proper bodily elevation is essential for restful sleep and healing. The HealthSmart® Foam Bed Wedge Pillow by Briggs Healthcare provides a versatile, medically sound angled incline engineered for targeted body positioning while complementing home decor.
Crafted with a supportive 12-inch incline measuring 12" high, 24" wide, and 24" long, this wedge features a high-density foam core that maintains its structural shape without flattening under weight. Positioned under the head and torso, it elevates the upper body to prevent gastric acid reflux, ease nasal congestion, and reduce neck strain. Placed under the feet and lower legs, it lifts lower extremities to reduce swelling, relieve lower back pressure, and alleviate phlebitis or restless leg discomfort. Complete with a stylish, removable, machine-washable Blue Moroccan patterned cover, it blends medical performance with home aesthetics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does this bed wedge help with acid reflux (GERD) and heartburn?
A: By elevating your head, shoulders, and torso at a gentle 12-inch incline, gravity naturally prevents stomach acids from flowing upward into the esophagus while sleeping.
Q: Can I use this wedge pillow under my legs after surgery?
A: Yes. Placing the wedge under your legs raises your feet and knees above heart level, reducing localized edema (swelling), easing varicose vein pressure, and relaxing the lower back.
Q: Is the Blue Moroccan cover machine washable?
A: Yes. The included zippered poly-cotton cover unzips easily from the foam core for machine washing in warm water.
